Flashcard 1: What is the value of 312(5−2)+7?
Answer: 19. Division first, then parentheses, implied multiplication, and addition per PEMDAS.
Flashcard 2: What is the value of 43÷(21+41)?
Answer: 1. Add fractions in parentheses, then divide by inverting and multiplying.
Flashcard 3: What is the value of (0.6×50)−(53×20)?
Answer: 18. Compute each multiplication in parentheses, then subtract decimals.
Flashcard 4: What is the value of (21+31)(21−31)?
Answer: 365. Difference of squares formula applies: (a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2 with fractions.
Flashcard 5: What is the value of ∣3−8∣+(−2)3?
Answer: −3. Absolute value yields positive, added to negative cube of integer.
Flashcard 6: What is the value of 23×3+42÷2?
Answer: 32. Exponents first, then multiplication and division left to right, finally addition.
Flashcard 7: What is the value of x−3x2−9 when x=6?
Answer: 9. Substitute value into algebraic fraction and simplify numerator and denominator.
Flashcard 8: What is the value of (12÷4)2−(3×2)?
Answer: 3. Division inside parentheses, square the result, then subtract product.
Flashcard 9: What order of operations should you use to evaluate an expression with parentheses and exponents?
Answer: Use PEMDAS: parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract. PEMDAS ensures consistent evaluation by prioritizing parentheses, then exponents, followed by multiplication/division left to right, and addition/subtraction left to right.
Flashcard 10: What is the value of 43+81×4?
Answer: 45. Multiplication precedes addition, so compute fraction multiplication first then add.
Flashcard 11: What is the value of 18−6÷3×4?
Answer: 10. Perform division and multiplication from left to right before subtraction, per order of operations.
Flashcard 12: What is the value of (32)÷(94)+1?
Answer: 25. Division of fractions involves multiplying by reciprocal, then add the integer.
Flashcard 13: What is the value of 7+3(2−25)?
Answer: 211. Compute inside parentheses, multiply by coefficient, then add.
Flashcard 14: What is the value of (23)16+39?
Answer: 5. Exponent in denominator first, then divide each term and add results.
Flashcard 15: What is the value of (2.5)2−(1.5)2+(3)?
Answer: 7. Difference of squares plus integer: (a2−b2)+c with decimals.
Flashcard 16: What is the value of (65−31)÷41?
Answer: 2. Subtract fractions in parentheses, then divide by inverting and multiplying.
Flashcard 17: What is the value of 29−(43×8)?
Answer: −23. Multiplication in parentheses first, then subtract from fraction.
Flashcard 18: What is the value of (6−23)×4?
Answer: 18. Subtract fractions within parentheses first, then multiply by the integer.
Flashcard 19: What is the value of 5−[2−(3−4)]?
Answer: 2. Evaluate innermost parentheses first, then work outward subtracting nested brackets.
